    Blueberry Almond Bread | Vegan RichaIt is the time for a blog hop. The #berrylove it is for the month of April! It was supposed to warm up enough, so there would be these fresh vibrant berries all around.. but hello, Seattle did not get that memo. So we have to be happy using the supermarket or frozen berries. I wish it warms up soon and I can go berry picking!


    In case you missed it, here is the previous post with some pretty Zebra Swirl cake with home milled Whole Wheat flour, and all about baking with Wheat flours.
     
    This delicious and soft Blueberry Almond Bread. 
     
     
    It has been a while since I whipped up a bread. So it seemed like a perfect post for today. Some bluueee berries in the bread along with almonds, make this a filling addition to your breakfast or snack. The bread is soft, moist and vibrant and the almonds amp up the nutrition! If you cant eat nuts, addd some cooked quinoa instead.
    Find my Vegan yeast bread collection here. which I must warn you, there are quite a few!:)
    Also, announcing today the winner of Vegan author and health activist Kathy Freston’s book The Lean! You can catch my interview with her on the post here.
     
    KayakingKimmy@gmail.com is the winner! I will email you for your address soon!

    Ingredients

    Make 8 by 4 inch loaf

    • 1.5 cups (187.5 g) cups bread flour
    • 1 cup (120 g) whole wheat flour
    • 1/2 cup (56 g) ground raw almonds
    • 3/4 cup (111 g) blueberries I used fresh, use wild blueberries for a deeper color
    • 1/4 cup (62.5 ml) cup warm water
    • 2 teaspoons active yeast
    • 2 Tablespoons raw sugar or equivalent sweetener
    • 1/2 teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) salt
    • 2 Tablespoons organic canola oil or olive oil

    Instructions

    • Add the yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar to 2 Tablespoons warm water. Mix and let it sit until frothy. 10 minutes.
    • In a stand mixer, add the flours, salt, rest of the sugar and mix well.
    • Blend blueberries, and 2-3 Tablespoons water, into a smooth puree.
    • To the flours, Add in the blueberry puree , oil and yeast mixture and knead for 6-8 minutes. Scraping sides every 2-3 minutes. Or knead by hand for 5-6 minutes.
    • Add more water or bread flour if needed to make a well formed soft dough. The dough might be a little sticky, but should not be wet.
    • Place dough in well greased container. Spray water on top, cover and let sit in a warm place for 1.5 hours or until doubled.
    • Take dough out on a working surface. Using a little bread flour, knead for a minute, and then flatten it out into an inch thick rectangle. Roll it up like a jelly roll. Seal the edges. Place the roll seam side down in a well greased or parchment lined bread pan. Spray water on top. Sprinkle a little flour. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes or until doubled.
    • Bake in pre-heated 365 degrees F for 35-40 minutes.
    • Remove from bread pan and cool on rack completely before slicing. Store in the refrigerator if not using up the same day.

      Hello Miss Richa! Thank you for sharing with us your recipe, I’ll definitely try this at home, I was really looking for something new for my kids who always go to school and I really wanted to bring with them my home made recipe as their snacks because I don’t want them to buy anywhere in canteen or outside the school. I have already copied it in my recipe notebook. Thank you so much for this and I’m looking forward for you more recipes to post.

      I’ve seen many sweet quick blueberry breads, but this is fabulous!! A yeast bread with fresh berries! Looks wonderful and the texture is perfect. I’m excited to try this. I can imagine toasting the slices, using for french toast…oh my!!

      Oh wow, that is absolutely beautiful!

      I just had two quick questions. First, about the flour, what exactly is bread flour? Is it white flour? I like to stay clear of any flour that isn’t 100% whole grain. Could I replace that with a different flour, like spelt, or no?

      And also, are 2 tablespoons of sugar absolutely needed? I understand that the yeast needs some sugar in order to function properly, but I was wondering; do you know the minimum amount of added sugar that could be used? I prefer to consume as little added sugar as possible. Thank you so much!

        Thanks!
        1. Bread flour is a blend of high gluten hard wheat varieties and is coarser than all purpose flour and less coarse than whole wheat flr. You can substitute it out with a “finer” whole grain flour(finer texture than whole wheat ) and add 2-3 teaspoons vital wheat gluten. Though the bread might end up a bit dense.
        2. the sugar just helps get the blueberry taste out a bit. But you can skip it and use only 1 tsp used for the yeast activation in step one. You can either add no more sugar or use equivalent sweeteners like blended dates, agave, stevia etc.

        Yes, you can make these with any fruit. If you look through the bread album https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.309845289076470.71767.143274179066916&type=3 , there are bunch of other fruit breads. Just replace the liquid with purees fruit and add flour to make a bread dough and you are good to go!
